Hello friends. It's the 25th and that means it's time for
Papertrey Ink's Blog Hop! This month Nichole gave us a beautiful inspiration photo done in all soft blue's and white...take a look:
While I'm assuming this is a wedding invitation, I went a little off direction towards creating a stationery set and using the soft blues (Blueberry Sky) and white, gold, seam binding ribbon, and flowers.
I made a set of 4 single sided note cards using the new
Stemmed Statements set and then clear embossed them before blending a bit of Blueberry Sky ink over the flowers. The sentiment (from
Winter Woods) was embossed in gold and I also embossed the edges in gold before mounting to a Blueberry Sky base. I made matching envelopes with the Blueberry Sky DSP, and because I had strips of the DSP left over, I added a small strip to the left hand side of each of the note cards.
And of course I had to stamp the flower on the outside of the coordinating envelope so it all matched!
I used one of the clear plastic boxes that PTI sends their stamp sets in to house my set of note cards, and then did a belly band of the same Blueberry Sky DSP along with a piece of seam binding ribbon and a little lace flower that I dipped in Autumn Rose ink.
And now I have a beautiful little set of note cards ready to be gifted to one of my friends who has a birthday next month! Nothing like being a little a head of the game...love it!! :0)
Now it's time for my favorite part of the blog hop...to go hopping and see how everyone else was inspired by this month's beautiful photo! You can check it all out right
